Wow.....this is the second time this has happened.
Bethany Beach DE had a beach replenishment project a few years back; pumped sand from a bit offshore.
Turns out at the end of WWII a ship dumped a bunch of AAA ammo right where they got the sand, thus filling the beach with unexploded AAA shells.

ROFL! I spent the first 5 years of my life in Bridgeville DE and have lived on the eastern Shore of MD ever since. Clamshell driveways used to be very common but I don't see them much anymore, probably because of the smell when you put the new shells down.
And considering my youthful proclivities towards anything that burned or blew up, if I'd found out about this back then, I wouldn't be here now. ;)
